It's not a birthday! Each day in our calendar has a name or two with it, so you get to celebrate yours.

oh wow, major mis-reading :( But that's crazyawesome. You must not have a whole ton of common names, or something? How do they assign the names to a date?

Yay for weird traditions. Mine was Aug 11th. In fact in Finland we basically go by three name calenders - one Finnish, one Swedish and one Orthodox.

In here, similar names or names derived from the same basic name are usually all on the same day - hence on my name day, besides Sanni there's Sanna, Susanna, Susanne...

We do have a whole lot of them. And those that are not officially in calendar still have a day assigned so everybody gets to celebrate. You just have to ask the government to tell you which day it is on the list, in case you give your kid a less frequent, very oldschool or a new name.

Thank you everyone!

Gulsah, it is something of lesser importance than birthday, so you usually get smaller presents like chocolates or small things. Namedays are more public though, since people don't know when your birthday is and you can hide that. I remember as kids in primary school we brought candy for classmates.

French tradition: nameday < birthday

Am I Greek or French? Depends on the day.
